Megyn Kelly is joined by Heather Mac Donald, author of "When Race Trumps Merit," to discuss the “joy” from some leftists like Taylor Lorenz over the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, how some are celebrating the alleged assassin’s act and fixating on his looks, those justifying murder as a means to addressing policy concerns, the privileged background and education of the alleged CEO murderer, what may have been his motivation and whether he was simply mentally ill, the unhinged reaction from leftists to Daniel Penny's acquittal, the smears against him despite his heroic actions, the attempts by some to make the case about race, if Pete Hegseth will make it through as Trump's Defense Secretary, whether private character concerns should have any bearing on his professional job prospects, and more. Plus Megyn Kelly discusses the details about the capture of alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, the people who identified him and the employee who called 911, whether he was preparing to potentially commit more crimes, the significance of a potential back injury, and more. Then Megyn Kelly is joined by Kristen Waggoner of Alliance Defending Freedom and baker Jack Phillips to discuss his 12-year legal battle over his Christian beliefs, the Supreme Court case about the gay marriage cake, the transgender lawyer who started another legal battle with Phillips, how it's affected him and his family, what happens next with similar cases in America, and more.
